Tatra T-805 lorry platform

A lightweight all-terrain lorry with a payload in terrain of 1,500 kg. The production began in 1953.
The vehicle is equipped with an 8V air-cooled gasoline engine. The gearbox has an additional gearbox
for off-road driving. Both the axles are equipped with a differential lock. Some lorry platforms
were equipped with an air compressor. The frame is backbone-type – a support tube – the Tatra
system. In addition, box bodies, ambulances, fire fighting and a small series for paratroopers
were produced. The total number of 7,214 pieces was produced.

A 30-mm self-propelled anti-aircraft twin-gun PLdvK (53/59 model) located on an armoured wheeled
(6x6) chassis of the PV3S vehicle; its design is based on the design of a trailed anti-aircraft
twin-gun, model 53. The gun-carriage with the guns is designed as removable. The traverse of
the guns is 360° and the elevation is in the range from -2° to +85°. Targets on the ground can

Praga RND

Medium lorry. Probably the most successful prewar truck Praga. It was produced from 1934 until 1953.
It has not originally been developed as a military, but the Army evaluated its excellent driveability
and reliability. Widely used by the German army. Licenses sold to Yugoslavia. Distinctive sign
of a good pre- and post-war production is the cab driver. Postwar vehicles have a circular roof
escape. Production of both types (RN and RND) was stopped in 1953, when the car began to focus
solely on the production of the V3S.

Škoda 973 (Babeta)

A lightweight four-passenger all-terrain vehicle with a self-supporting body proved to be the best
of all vehicles during comparative tests of the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries. Thirty
prototypes were built until 1956; the vehicles differed in many versions and the chassis wheelbase.
The production capacity in the Czechoslovak Republic was unable to cover the requirements of the
Warsaw Pact; therefore, the production was abandoned.
